A Piece of Sky

The first time I watched the movie, Yentl was in 1983 during its debut. I was 23 years old and had long been a fan of Barbra Streisand. Back then, I interpreted the movie to be about a young woman who wanted to get an education, pretended to be a man in order to do so, and then fell in love with her mentor. This is all very true, but really only touches on the story’s outline. I listened to “A Piece of Sky” and thought it was about finding a man and being happy. I now realize, 27 years later, that it is all about being deserving of everything that we wish for.

Dreams often feel very abstract, and yet, they are a reflection of our true perception of reality. They send us messages in convoluted ways, and if we took the time to analyse them, I know that they could be a guide if we decided to take their lead. Dreams, along with everyday events, give us clues into what is available to us. When we turn our backs to those subliminal angels, we create blocks to all that is available to us. Sometimes, we just need to open the door to what has come knocking.

This requires being awake and looking at what is being offered when we are not dreaming. It really is right there in front of you. Sometimes, you need to be brave and ask for it. If you are thinking about doing something, you most likely have the ability to make it happen. If you are not taking the first step toward what you want, there is something that you are allowing to stop you. It’s a block that you have chosen not to get rid of.

Most blocks consist of other people’s opinions. When we muster up the courage to share a passion, most certainly there will be that one person in our life who decides to try to shut us down. They very nicely or not so nicely indicate that our dream is ridiculous or unattainable. This is a critical moment in the creation or destruction of our growth. This is when we decide whether that individual’s opinion is real or not. This is when we have the ability to remember that, just because the words flowed out of his or her mouth, doesn’t mean that they make what is said real. It is only real if we truly believe what is said. If we believe what someone else says more than what we feel is true, we have diminished our dream to nothingness. We must seek and ask for what we want, and allow nothing to get in our way. Why should we settle for just a piece of the sky when we can have it all?
